Synopsis

From the author of Toward the Sea of Freedom comes a novel of the triumphs, tragedies, and courage of two women bravely changing the tide of history…As the nineteenth century draws to a close, the struggle for women’s suffrage has finally reached New Zealand. But when the tide of change rolls in, it threatens to engulf two young women from very different backgrounds, who are coming of age amid the tumult.Torn between the two worlds that make up her heritage, Matariki Drury is the daughter of a successful white businesswoman and a descendant of Maori royalty. Scarred by poverty and hoping to make a new life for herself in this strange and forbidding land, Violet Paisley is the middle child of a poor Welsh coal-mining family.Drawn together by their shared commitment to social change, and tested by traumas that neither of them could foresee, these two independent-minded women will find themselves thrust onto the front lines of the fight for equal rights and racial justice. To win their place in this world, they must learn to rise above their personal pain and choose a path of reconciliation rather than retribution.

Beneath the Kauri Tree mi-a placut la fel de mult ca primul volum al seriei, poate chiar putin mai mult. Mi s-a parut ca povestea se indeparteaza cumva de dragostea ca tema principala si urmareste relatiile din maori si populatia straina, care, desi a ajuns sa se simta ca acasa si sa isi gaseasca ro......more

Goodreads review by Ana

Con todo lo que me gusta esta autora, este libro me pareció el más flojo de los que he leído de ella. Todos sabemos qué vamos a leer cuando nos referimos a un landscape, y más cuando hablamos de la reina de género, que es Lark. Por ende no tenemos sorpresas en cuanto a la función en la historia que......more

Goodreads review by Emir

Sarah Lark no decepciona. En esta segunda parte de la trilogía que inició con Hacia los mares de la libertad, seguimos nuevamente a dos protagonistas y su recorrido a lo largo de más de treinta años de historia, atravesando enfrentamientos entre maoríes y pakehas, la irrupción de la Ley Seca, las su......more
